Meet Richie!

Richie came to us as a stray, so his past is a bit of a mystery. Since arriving in our care, he has shown himself to be a gentle and sensitive boy who is still taking his time getting comfortable in new situations and with new people.

While Richie can be shy at first, he has a friendly side that shines through once he begins to feel safe and secure. He appreciates a calm, patient approach and enjoys interacting on his own terms. Like many cats, Richie can become overstimulated if he receives too much attention at once, so adopters will need to be mindful of his body language and give him space when he asks for it.

Richie is looking for a home that understands that trust takes time to build. With patience, respect, and a predictable routine, we believe he will continue to gain confidence and show more of his personality. If you’re searching for a companion and are willing to let a cat set the pace, Richie could be the perfect match for you.

Because Richie came in as a stray, we don’t know much about his history or how he may feel about other animals, so any introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully.

Do you think you could be Richie’s person? Here are some ways to find out:
